Back by popular demand, EricRoberge is in the house. If you listened to last Friday’s episode of Ask Farnoosh, you know Eric was my esteemed co-host. I wanted to bring him back for a 1:1 interview. As a certified financial planner and founder of his own virtual financial planning company, Eric has a great grasp on all the issues young professionals are facing when it comes to money and personal finance.

A little more about Eric: His financial planning firm is called Beyond Your Hammock.

He previously worked for State Street and JPMorgan before starting his own business at age 33.

He frequently contributes to Forbes, Huffington Post and Money Magazine.
